Moisture behind failing wood siding damages the structure underneath. By the time you see the problem, repair costs have already increased. Installing James Hardie siding here stops that cycle before it starts.
The appearance of your home’s exterior is important too. This area has many older character homes, and fiber cement can be cut and finished to match that style, so upgrading retains the charm of the neighborhood.

Durable Siding Solutions
Peeling paint and rotting wood are common problems in our coastal climate. James Hardie siding solves these issues with fiber cement that resists moisture, swelling, and warping. It keeps your exterior looking sharp without the constant upkeep that wood requires.
The panels come factory-primed or with baked-on ColorPlus Technology. This finish bonds at a molecular level, preventing blistering or fading for years, even in heavy rain. For a closer look at James Hardie siding in Vancouver, we explain every profile and finish we install.
New Westminster sits high on the Fraser River slope, facing driving rain and damp air that damage ordinary siding. Homes here need an exterior that can resist moisture without rotting, buckling, or losing color to mildew.
Many character homes and mid-century builds in New Westminster still have original wood cladding that’s past its prime. Switching to fiber cement keeps that classic look while providing a fire-resistant shell that withstands our wet winters and occasional summer heat.
Siding Installation in New Westminster
Before we install new siding, we take off the old wood cladding and check the sheathing for moisture damage. This is common in older homes in New Westminster, especially those facing west and southwest, where rain hits hardest. We replace the old felt paper with a continuous weather barrier, making sure it is properly lapped and taped. Next, we install vertical furring strips to create a ventilated rain screen cavity.
We install HardiePlank lap siding by blind-nailing it at the top edge with stainless-steel fasteners. This keeps the face smooth and prevents water from pooling in nail holes. Behind every vertical joint, we add a strip of building paper to protect the drainage plane. At window heads and deck ledger boards, we use bent aluminum flashings to direct moisture away from the wall assembly.
The wall assembly has a continuous drainage plane that helps shed water down and out, with all horizontal layers lapped like shingles. In New Westminster’s damp climate, this drainage plane must stay intact. By installing vertical furring, we create an air chamber that balances pressure, which reduces the suction that pulls rainwater into the cavity.
Flashings at roof-wall transitions, windows, and deck connections disrupt the cladding but seal the drainage plane to the rough opening. We use flexible flashing tapes connected to the weather barrier, then cover them with metal head and sill flashings to keep the water-shedding layer intact. This layered method keeps the structural sheathing dry, which is important for older homes in New Westminster, where moisture can cause expensive framing repairs.
New Westminster permit requirements
For typical single-family or duplex homes in New Westminster, replacing or installing exterior siding such as James Hardie generally does not require a building permit when it is a non-structural exterior finish repair or replacement, like changing cladding only. Structural changes, like altering wall framing or adding new openings, would still trigger a building permit, so siding contractors must confirm whether any part of the job affects structure.
Exterior siding work by professional contractors, including James Hardie installation, must follow construction noise limits. Construction noise is allowed from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Monday to Friday and from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Saturday. It is not permitted on Sundays or statutory holidays. Homeowners working on their own residence may have limited additional allowances for Sundays or holidays, but these do not apply to hired contractors.
If a New Westminster home is on the City’s Heritage Register or has heritage designation, changing the exterior appearance, including re-siding with James Hardie, typically requires a Heritage Alteration Permit along with any standard building permits. The City uses the HAP process to review proposed exterior changes and ensure they do not harm the property’s heritage value, so heritage properties cannot be re-sided without prior City approval.
We worked on a multi-building school in New Westminster that had old wood siding. This siding was allowing drafts and moisture to enter, which threatened the building’s structure. We replaced the old siding with James Hardie siding on several buildings. This change fixed the draft and moisture problems. Now, the campus is weather-tight, quieter, and much easier for their staff to maintain.
